Overview: In this white paper, learn about the specific problems around data protection when using servers within Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments. This includes both problems specific to the environment, the motivations that drive the need for this data protection, and recent changes in cyber threats that highlight the need for this protection. The paper also examines the core elements of a data protection solution for AWS implementations, and then reviews how the Vormetric Data Firewall for AWS delivers a complete solution to the problem.
